I reckon no such flag ever existed

No swastika flags allowed in Germany

Mr James
Great foliage and lovely additions to this old kit. A great build, beautifully weathered. I'd leave the flag out if not allowed to display an accurate account. Or hide the offending portion of it 🤔

Finn
Interesting, will follow

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Very good looking cockpit. 👍

Ekki
Following.

Tzonglin Wu
Thank you all.
I spent quite a bit of time with jagged camo.
There is no special method, just patience.
Looks like a success now, just need a little patch.

Finn
That "lövhög" (meaning heap of leaves in Swedish) pattern is looking really good. Well done!

Robert Podkoński
Really good job on this intricate camo.

Tzonglin Wu
Thank you Finn for your introduction. This is the first time I know the name of this camouflage, and I also found its introduction in the WIKI. I try to write a short story of this interesting camouflage in Traditional Chinese and will introduce it to my Taiwanese friends.

You can watch it by Google Translate：
從國外模友提供的資訊，我找到這種由硬線條幾何形狀組成的迷彩被稱為FOA 迷彩，瑞典政府在 1960 年代決定資助和開發國內迷彩設計，而不是複製另一個國家所使用的圖案。用以確保在瑞典的地形中發揮最大效力，同時也是為了將新圖案作為國家象徵，一種瑞典武裝部隊專用的瑞典設計，希望能有助於公民對軍隊的認同。瑞典國防研究所(瑞典文：Försvarets forskningsanstalt, FOA) 的科學家在 1970 年代透過廣泛的測試和實驗過程（包括航拍和實地試驗）對車輛迷彩圖案進行了研究，當時瑞典的軍事學說設想飛機被分散在各地機堡中，需要一種在溫帶森林裡和平原上可以有效隱藏的偽裝。當這種圖案在1970年代推出時，它被稱為"FOA 迷彩"，反映了它的起源。FOA迷彩被大量使用在AJ-37 Viggen上，也使它被稱為Viggenkamouflage。它在瑞典士兵中被暱稱為lövhög即瑞典文"樹葉堆"的意思。

Thank you Robert, I am glad you like it.

Spanjaard
Splinter camo looks fabulous

Łukasz Gliński
Oh wow, what a splinter! 👍

Spanjaard
And thanks for the historical background, I did not know it, very interesting

Andy Ball
More splinters than a splintery thing…a great testament to the painting patience

Vincent
The camo looks amazing. Really sharp work. I also like the work you did on the engine.

Patrick Hagelstein
What a stunner! 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
I put it through Google Translate: cool story! 🙂

Tzonglin Wu
Thank you Spanjaard, Łukasz, Andy, Vincent and Patrick. Now I know that this camouflage is called Splinter camo in English. WIKI also has a article to introduce it. I still love the word "lövhög" , because it is beautiful.

en.wikipedia.org/wik..r_pattern_camouflage

I called it "鋸齒狀迷彩" before this discussion. In Chinese "鋸" means saw. "齒" means tooth.
So, I wrote it as jaggled camo before. I thought that the opposite is smooth type camo just like south east asia camouflage. 😄

Andy Ball
I have been described as a lövhög before 😂

Michael Kohl
Impressive camo, even more so, as you obviously didn't use special masks.

David R. Meizoso
Been 2 days thinking about how you did this beautiful camo, in terms of which color must be applied first, how you shape the masks and so on. In the end, my conclusion is: magic!

Neuling
Very beautiful camouflage!

Tzonglin Wu
Hi Andy, does your mother often tell you to clean up the room? 😛

Tzonglin Wu
Thank you Michael, David and Neuling. I used the most stupid method to do the masking slowly. It does take a lot of time. I paint the dark green first, then light green and tan. Finally paint the black.

Marcin Dudek
Splendod job. Perfect paintjob 👏. This had to tske tons of making tape to achieve 😉

Rui S
A eye catcher, indeed 👍

gorby
Nice work.

Kai R. Ingebrigtsen
Done, I think. Might take better pics of it.

Jim Hawksworth
What a cool idea! Looking really great.

Kai R. Ingebrigtsen
Thanks, Jim. When nothing fits and the initial plan goes out the window.. just think "what would Hollywood do?"

Carlos Cisneros
Watch "The Hunters" to see what Hollywood would do with a F-84F… 😉

Pretty cool looking "Mig"

Kai R. Ingebrigtsen
Hah! That's pretty cool, Carlos! Never seen that before. Thanks for the info, inspirational.
